I've been focusing on finishing my documentary
Care to share any more details about this?
It's not really noteworthy, it's more kind of a student film, though I'm not a student. I got a grant for artists who want to get into video art or something, which involves some classes and a mentorship program.
My documentary is called
Robbing Peter To Pay Paul, and it's about these schizophrenic, homeless, negroid twins from the city I live in named Peter and Paul. One of them used to be something of a breakdancer, but is so fucked up now that he mostly just clumsily spins around all them time, almost falling. He really wants to be on Canada's got talent, and it's about his personal struggles in that regard. It's a humorous take, and will probably be none too popular amongst the PC, activist-y types who run the organization I got the grant from, but oh well. The version I am working on is only 20 mins. but I might make it into a feature length documentary someday. I have about 15 hours of footage, and might shoot some more, or I might just start working on my next project, about this small town close to where I grew up called Swastika.
There's a really shitty trailer I randomly threw together here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc5QkxuvbscIt has a bunch of mistakes.
I have a better one that needs to be touched up a little, but will be up by Thursday.
